Urban Odds: Cry Game

The city that never sleeps, the bottom of the black tower——

The third elder stared at that page several times, raised his head and said, "Old man...does what is written here refer to that little puppet?"

The old ghost was still drinking his endless pot of hot tea, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know, it's useless to ask me. Even the original species and the original species don't know much about each other, let alone us ordinary people people?"

Third Elder: "I don't think you are ordinary."

Ghost old man: "Then what do you say I am?"

The third elder shivered, and quickly changed the topic: "Aren't they going to investigate?"

The ghost old man said: "Of course we have investigated, but the original species are on guard against each other, and they are very well hidden. The seven original species come from seven different worlds, and the development of civilization is not consistent. When you don't know the ability of the other party, you can protect yourself. It's the most appropriate."

The third elder didn't take it seriously: "As long as we launch an attack, wouldn't we be able to ascertain the opponent's ability?"

The ghost old man laughed loudly: "Do you know Celia, the lord of Crystal City?"

"know."

"You should have heard all the rumors about him, right?"

"Well, he is the original species."

"That's right, he is the original species, one of the seven original species, the shadow original species!"

The third elder choked: "Darkness, the original species of shadow?!"

"Yes, Shadow...he's not a human at all, he's just a shadow!"

The third elder had a relationship with Celia once, and in his impression, Celia was a very kind man, what kind of shadow did he look like?If there was something wrong with his shadow, someone would have noticed it long ago, right?

The third elder couldn't understand: "Is his shadow okay?"

The old ghost said: "This is his special feature. The life form of the original shadow is a shadow, which exists on a two-dimensional plane... and the lord we see is just a three-dimensional model projected from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. When other original species met him, they failed to recognize him as a living body... We always thought that life was only in the physical form, but Celia lived in a two-dimensional plane, until many years later, he established Crystal City, and projected a three-dimensional image of the lord."

The third elder was dumbfounded, he never knew there was such a two-dimensional creature: "Why does he project a three-dimensional image? Doesn't this expose himself?"

The old ghost shook his head: "There is no one of his kind in this world. He cannot communicate with the three-dimensional in two dimensions. To integrate into this world, he must appear in the life form of this world. Celia is a smart original species. Learning to enrich yourself, the entire Crystal City is actually his testing ground, I suggest you best not to provoke him."

Crystal City is a country of its own, independent of the mainland, and its connection with the mainland is only through trade.The blood clan has long been eyeing Crystal City, intending to show their favor.If it wasn't for the return of the Holy Son, they would have sent people to negotiate.The third elder had mixed thoughts, and recalled the pictures he had seen: "Then, who is that little puppet???"

"Don't worry, that thing is an entity."

"Oh!" The third elder was relieved, "Just find it and kill it!"

Ghost old man: "Hehe! Let's talk about it after you can kill it!"

The evacuation alarm sounded in the evening.

Xue Xiao leaned against the window, watching the residents panic, leaving their stalls and fleeing home.The one who moved quickly had already packed up the package and headed for the underground waterway with the whole family.

Zhou Yang and Aix couldn't do anything, they sat on the bed and teased Xiao Xiaoxiao.Xiao Xiaoxiao shrank into a ball, buried his head under his wings, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhou Yang said to Xue Xiao: "Big Daddy, let's change into another one and be a companion with it?"

It was a boring suggestion, but Xue Xiao really raised his hand, and a few little owls flapped their wings and flew in all directions.

Zhou Yang said disappointedly: "Hey, I thought you'd come out to accompany it!"

Xue Xiao was too lazy to talk to him.

Zhou Yang panicked, and said again: "Brother, can we do something?"

Xue Xiao said: "There is no need to do anything, just wait here."

Zhou Yang buried his head in flirting with Xiao Xiaoxiao, but Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't want to play with him, so Zhou Yang had no choice but to flirt with the protagonist instead.

"Zhou Yang!" Ax patted his hand away, "Can you stop for a while?"

Zhou Yang stretched out his finger to scratch the opponent's chin again, and Aix grabbed it into his palm.

Alex: "Bite you!"

Zhou Yang: "Bite, bite hard!"

Aix grabbed Zhou Yang's finger, and actually took a bite on it, leaving a tooth mark.Zhou Yang laughed loudly, patted the bed, Aix lay down, Zhou Yang also lay down, and looked at the ceiling side by side with Aix.

This mission is too boring, hands and feet are handcuffed, all they need to do is wait, and don't have to worry about other things.

It's like a boring nurturing game!Zhou Yang thought to himself.

By the way... all this is not a game!

But the development of things is almost the same as the game. Although there are many deviations, they finally came to the city that never sleeps.

Will Aix become the king of the blood clan?Or are they going to leave the city that never sleeps and go to the Tongtian Tower?

No matter which ending, as long as "the game is over", his "game career" is also complete.

and then?

Where will he go then?What will happen to Aix?And Ord and them...will they all disappear?

Or, what disappeared was the character "Jack" possessed by him?

Zhou Yang was thinking wildly, and Ax was probably too busy, secretly scratching Zhou Yang's palm.Zhou Yang scratched back, and the two of them had a great time playing with their fingers back and forth.

The little owl on the bed moved far away to the corner of the bed, continuing to be out of sight and out of mind.

Xiao Xiaoxiao is formed by the condensed magic power of Xue Xiao, and it is usually used for investigation. Xue Xiao leaned against the window with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

There are many entrances to the underground waterway, and almost every residence has an entrance to the waterway.When the residents get off the water, they run to their own homes, and those who don't have a waterway run to their neighbors.The little owls were distributed in the sky, staring at the city gates everywhere.

"Do you think the demons will come to support?" Aix stood by the window and looked towards the street.The blood race is sparsely populated, and without foreign aid, it would be difficult to fight against the empire.

Xue Xiao said frankly: "The demons have been spying on the blood for a long time, do you think they will really support them?"

"You mean...they have another purpose?"

"Lilith's becoming a god is a blow to all races." Xue Xiao looked at Aix, "Why is it not me or you who became a god, but Lilith? What has Lilith experienced? What, how was it resurrected, how did it become a god? All these are situations that the demons are eager to find out."

Aix understood: "They want to make their own gods?"

Xue Xiao said: "The empire is the same... Aix, how many secrets do you know?"

"What do you mean?"

"Lilith."

"I don't know." Aix's eyes dimmed, "I don't know what happened after she was burned at the stake..."

Xue Xiao nodded, silently looking out the window.

There is no way to escape if you want to escape, and you can’t help if you want help. Zhou Yang rolled around on the bed bored: "Then what can we do? They have all run away, and we are here waiting for the imperial army to catch them?"

Xue Xiao said: "Stay here and wait for instructions. It's safe here. Besides, if the imperial army really comes to the door, I won't let you be arrested."

The little puppet in Zhou Yang's pocket grinned, yes, it will not let the imperial army catch the Son.It finally came to the city that never sleeps, even if it sacrifices the whole city that never sleeps, it still has to keep the Holy Son and let him go up to the black tower safely.

Sending the Son to see Lilith, it happened to inquire about something...an important thing that could change its fate!

In the early hours of the morning, the third elder finally came.This time he didn't take the waterway, but walked the deserted street, and entered through the bar gate dignifiedly.Xue Xiao unlocked the corridor door, just as the third elder turned up the stairs.

Xue Xiao closed the corridor door and whispered to the third elder outside.Zhou Yang was lying on the door panel. The genes of the blood race allowed him to hear them clearly, but it was useless to hear them... Zhou Yang couldn't understand what they were saying.They spoke a demonic dialect, which Zhou Yang and Aix didn't understand.

The third elder left after explaining, and Xue Xiao looked preoccupied when he returned to the room, staring out the window in a daze without saying a word.The third elder told Xue Xiao everything about the original species, and there was an agreement between them, Xue Xiao agreed to help the third elder to trouble the Son, in exchange, the third elder must provide him with information about the original species.

Before leaving, the third elder specifically told him:

——You have to be careful with a puppet, about the size of a palm, which looks like a small toy. It is a parasitic original species.

——Lilith predicted a catastrophe that would infect the whole city, and I suspect that the puppet originated.

——Pay attention, if you find it, kill it immediately... As long as it is a small thing like a puppet, it must be destroyed, and it is best to burn it to ashes with fire!

——Yes, as long as you see them, you won't keep a single one!

——No, you can’t enter the tower yet, the Demon Race’s support vanguard will come soon, and they will go to the black tower through the waterway, you must hide and don’t act rashly!

— Wait for my news!

The city that never sleeps, the underground waterway——

One after another the black boats docked quietly, and the demon vanguard force composed of thousands of people had already reached the city that never sleeps, but they all stood in the boats, and none of them went ashore.

It's not that they don't want to go, but that there is no place for them to go.

The shore was crowded with residents, like soldiers standing guard, staring blankly at the demon vanguards who were also stunned.

"Hey, what's going on with this group of people?!"

"Hey! Get out of the way!"

"Tell you to get out of the way, don't you understand?"

Some demons tried to go ashore to drive away the crowd, but were stopped by the forward captain: "Let's change the way."

"But...captain..."

"The whole team turned around, went ashore outside the city... by land!"

"Captain, you've come to the Black Tower, why do you take a long way?" The demon team members refused to accept it, and they showed their weapons and said fiercely, "At worst, kill them all!"

The team responded in unison, shouting: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The seemingly invisible silk thread was floating in the air, they didn't pay attention, but the forward captain discovered it.

What it is?Wire?

Why is there a thread floating out of every resident's neck?

The team members with high killing intent were still shouting: "Go ashore and kill them all!"

The forward captain moved faster than him, and swished out his weapon, putting it on the team member's neck.

A bloodstain slowly slid down the wound, and the team member was covered in cold sweat.

The forward captain said coldly: "Are you still going?"

"No, no more."

"Team turn."

The fleet turned around one after another. They couldn't figure out why the captain didn't let them go ashore. Could it be that the cruel captain who loves killing showed mercy and let the old, weak, sick and disabled go?

After a long detour, the demons finally found a place to go ashore.They trekked through mountains and rivers, and walked hard to the Black Tower.The captain of the vanguard planned to make a deal with the elder of the blood clan with the information of the underground waterway, but he didn't expect the elder to just say "oh" flatly after hearing this.

The forward captain asked: "Don't you find it strange?"

The Great Elder laughed loudly: "What's so strange? There are still many people in the city who don't know how to get around... Don't worry, we still have a group of guards to escort them!"

The captain of the vanguard opened his mouth, and suddenly found that there was also a seemingly invisible thread floating on the back of the Great Elder's neck.

Not only him...the other elders also had a thin line behind their necks.

You can't see it unless you look carefully.

But he was discovered by chance.

The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. The forward captain felt that this topic could not be discussed any longer.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Is there something behind me?"

A drop of cold sweat ran down the captain's forehead, and he wiped it calmly: "It's nothing, it's so hot here."

The Great Elder stood up and opened the window, and said with a smile, "It's no wonder that you are not hot all the way!"

The third elder arrived late, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the captain staring at him coldly like an arrow.This captain has killed countless people with extremely cruel and vicious methods. The third elder has always been afraid of him.

The Mozu sent him as a support soldier, actually intending to use him to shock the vampires.

Now, the captain couldn't shake it anymore.

He felt an invisible threat, there was something extremely dangerous lurking in the vampires, but he just didn't know what it was.

The third elder sat by the window far away.

The forward captain got up, walked around the long table and sat next to the third elder.

The Great Elder waved: "What are you two doing sitting so far away? Come, sit down!"

Forward captain: "It's cool here."

Third Elder: "..."

The forward captain squinted at him: "Is it?"

Third Elder: "...Yes."

The third elder was sweating profusely, but the forward captain was rarely at ease—the only one in the conference room without a thread was the third elder.

Shacheng——

The imperial army was finally assembled, but before they set off, they received the news that the orc army stationed in Railway Town and the capital of the sea of ​​clouds had rioted!

"They demanded the return of the Beast King and Princess, as well as other members of the Beast Clan. One less, just..."

"So what?"

The soldier said cautiously: "I will pay you back with the lives of all the residents of the city..."

"Okay, those beasts are starting to threaten us?!" The elders of the empire were furious.They specially kept the matter of the Beastmaster and Freya secret, just to prevent the orcs from causing chaos.How could it spread to Railway Town and the Capital of the Sea of ​​Clouds, even though there was no leak?

Who on earth passed this matter on?How did it pass on?

As a last resort, the imperial army dispersed to Railway Town and the Capital of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

Only the dragoons remained.

The entire army of imperial dragonriders assembled, none of them left.

This is the last trump card of the empire, and it is also the top combat power of the empire.

The elders of the empire also stayed, and at the emergency meeting, they had differences on how to deal with the Son.

"Let him go up the tower? It's ridiculous! If he becomes a new god, can we still deal with it?!"

"He may not become a god, but Lilith will definitely give him some instructions."

"These instructions are likely to be the mysteries of the realm of gods, or the method to guide him into the realm of gods!"

"Are you so sure?"

"Because Aix is ​​Lilith's son..."

There was silence in the conference room, and Lilith could starve, be beaten for her son, and even be nailed to a wooden frame and burned to death in order to protect Aix.

The tortured Lilith did not reveal X's whereabouts until the end of her life.

She can give everything for her son...

"Aix can enter the tower!" At the end of the discussion, the elders finally reached a consensus, "But you must enter with our company! Otherwise..."

The elders of the empire glanced at Kolei and Sally Findor.

The two silent dragonriders certainly knew what the elders meant. Figaro was right. The elders of the empire had been spying on the secret of Lilith becoming a god, as well as the realm of gods that was out of reach for ordinary people.

They want to know, to control...and to take it for themselves!

The author has something to say:

It's almost the end~ After the city that never sleeps, there will be Tongtian Tower~~=￣ω￣=
